IMHO the easiest solution is to introduce a spamassassin2 package which 
conflicts with the spamassassin package, and to have spamass-milter and 
friends depend on spamassassin2.

Actually fixing the programs to use the 3.0 API can then happen as a 
subsequent step - and if it doesn't happen by release time, we still have 
spamassassin 3 in stable...
